3.6 - Cellular Respiration Flashcards
Glycolysis
- Occurs in cytosol
- Anaerobic
- glucose converted into 2 pyruvate
- 2 ATP & NADH
What is NADH?
A coenzyme that transfers electrons
Link cycle
2 pyruvates are transported into the mitochondrial matrix through active transport
- Oxidizes, becomes 2 acetyl coA
- CO2 released, 2NADH produced
Krebs Cycle
- O2 required, CO2 released
Input: 2acetyl coA
Output: 2 ATP, 6NADH, 2FADH
Electron Transport Chain/Chemiosmosis
- Inner mitrochondrial membrane
- O2 required
ETC process
- H+ transferred by NADH & FADH
- Taken to protein complex
- Protein gradient is created, H+ pumped across intermembrane
- Travels through ATP synthase
*30-38 ATP is created
Oxygens role in ETC
Final acceptor of electrons, creates 6H2O.
Oxidative phosphorylation
NADH is reduced to NAD+ and H+ is released.
FADH2 is reduced to FAD+ & 2H+
What kind of ATP does glycolysis and Krebs make?
Substrate level ATP
Which phases occur in the inner mitochondria?
Krebs, link, oxidative phosphorylation
Krebs - inner matrix
OP - inner membrane
Which phases produce CO2?
Link and Krebs
What reactants produce ATP?
ADP and inorganic phosphate (Pi)
Where does fermentation occur?
In glycolysis in the absence of oxygen
